Uncle Doug Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 It's a very good location across from the visitor center at the top of the hill. I had been wondering why the old structures there were being slowly demolished. It's currently very difficult to find construction laborers in Boquete these days. There are a lot of projects underway, not the least of which is Federal Mall. The only worker at the new Panamonte bridge site for months now is one guy who sits in a tent guarding the orange construction cones.

Keith Woolford Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 The artist's rendering shows all the commercial spaces on upper levels. Good luck with that, people here prefer ground level locations. One drawing shows an escalator but that will likely be the first thing to be eliminated when construction costs need to be trimmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 It appears traffic will be a mess at the entrance going up Volcancito Rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAndNena Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I think the structure might be finished in a timely fashion; selling all the commercial space could take a while. If the layout is done well, the views of Boquete from 3 stores up would be a popular tourist mirador from the food court. The upper level stores won't be a problem for visitors, it does not look as if it is being built for local consumption. Occasional tranques at Volcancito Road should prepare tourists for the minefield roads left by the water projects once they venture down the hill. I wonder if there will be turnstiles at the entrances? jim 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimAndNena Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Point of interest, OLX published this ad for Plaza San Francisco within a month of the Buena Vista ad. It is advertising vacant spaces there now. Clearly it does not have the panoramic views that Buena Vista will have but it does indicate there is more space available than businesses to fill them. https://boquete.olx.com.pa/plaza-san-francisco-en-alto-boquete-alquila-locales-de-90mt2-iid-920371109 The first thought the locals have with any big construction project is money laundering. Probably just a myth though. jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
